“Every New York City building carries the DNA of those that have built, rebuilt and reclaimed them over time,” says ARTNOIR co-founder Sherlen Archibald. “By mapping out the historical legacies of these sacred spaces, we aim to highlight and explore how the built environment serves as an essential catalyst for cultural exchange in both the present and future.”
